Diversity is a high priority at Lufthansa
In the context of a campaign by employment website Monster.de and film distributor Twentieth Century Fox, Lufthansa is offering women the opportunity to apply for a career day with the company. For the release of HIDDEN FIGURES on Thursday, 2 February 2017, Monster will create a campaign calendar for women and, beginning on 23 January 2017, will draw winners who will have the chance to gain insight into supposedly typically male professions in German companies.
Lufthansa is on the agenda for 27 January. The winner may choose from a wide range of professions, mostly in the operative areas, that are typically male-dominated. Logistics, aircraft maintenance, or the air-traffic control centre; there are many possibilities. In addition to offering a look behind the scenes, the biggest German airline will provide travel to Lufthansa headquarters as well as accommodation in Frankfurt for the lucky winner.
“We are happy to highlight our commitment to diversity and equality by participating in the #nolimitsforwomen week. At Lufthansa, diversity means variety, inventiveness, and the inclusion of different perspectives. As an international and multicultural company, we have to be a good example to others,” says Dr. Bettina Volkens, Chief Officer Corporate Human Resources and Legal Affairs.
